Wall Mounted Thermostatic Bath and Shower Mixers
Thermostatic bath and shower mixers consist of a brass body in most cases, a plastic valve with ceramic discs, and several assembly parts of various materials. The rosette and handle surface are usually chrome-plated using various galvanic process stages. Other coating techniques are also applied for different color options like PVD and wet coating, against corrosion.
The thermostatic cartridge mechanism enables users to adjust the desired water temperature, mixing it automatically. There is a thermostatic valve that mixes the hot and cold water to a constant temperature. The thermostatic tap acts promptly to any variation of pressure or temperature ensuring a continuous flow of water with a constant temperature. If, for some accidental reason the cold or hot water stops, the thermostatic tap will stop as the water flows.
Wall-mounted thermostatic bath and shower mixers have a horizontal body connected to the hot and cold-water systems and incorporate two knobs at the ends: temperature and water flow. Some advanced models take advantage of the "cold body" technology that prevents the body from overheating excessively, causing unpleasant sensations or even burns.
